Hunter Found Fatally Stabbed, Beaten At Campsite

[staysblazed_xo]

"Camden County Prosecutor's Office said in a press release that 54-year-old Joseph Bottino was found dead around 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday from stab and blunt-force injuries on the Pine Hill Scout Reservation.

Officials said Bottino left home on Wednesday to go hunting but never returned.

Bottino's family told authorities that he visited the area as he had done "many times" before.

An autopsy on Thursday determined that Bottino's death was a homicide caused by "multiple stab and incised wounds as well as blunt force injuries," prosecutors said."

A New Jersey man suspected of fatally beating and stabbing a hunter to death in the rural southern section of the state is the subject of a large scale manhunt, authorities said.

Shawn Massey, 38, of Gibbsboro, N.J. is suspected of killing hunter Joseph Bottino, 54, of Gloucester Township, whose body was found Dec. 23 riddled with stab wounds and blunt injuries.

Bottino’s body was discovered on the edge of a forest on the Watsontown-New Freedom Road near Berlin, N.J., about 15 miles southeast of Camden, an area on the western side of the Pine Barrens.

Well now, he looks lie a cross between an insane kinda wannabe mountain man, and/or one of Manson's many illegitimate and possibly inbred grand children...
I'm going with the former, as the latter would be far more filthy in appearance.

Shawn Massey probably does not enjoy being hunted, so much as he enjoys hunting humans.

Quite a dangerous game, I will say.

Massey, officials have said, has mental health issues and has been “aggressive” in the past. He was released from the state prison at Fort Dix in March 2020 after serving 20 months on assault charges.
